• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I totally agree with your ruling, but there is a part of your ruling on which I want to seek more clarification. You have pointed out that there is no direct connection between the Finance Bill and the Supplementary Budget. That is assuming that the Supplementary Budget is just realigning expenditure within the agreed total Budget allocation, or appropriation for that matter. But what of instances where the Executive is asking Parliament to give, through a view

• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same vein, I would like you to give your direction on a matter. If you look at the way this Motion is framed, you will see that it talks about a sum not exceeding--- and all that being granted from the Consolidated Fund.

So, a new Member of Parliament and an old Member of Parliament, we are the same. I would urge for some respect from ... view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am just challenging that the wording of this Motion is trying to ask this House to grant the Executive powers to go to the Consolidated Fund and withdraw money, something you cannot do. If the motive of the Executive was to ask Parliament to approve the Supplementary Budget, then it should have been done differently. If this is the way it was being done before--- The way the Constitution is worded today is contrary to what he is telling us to do because he is asking us to give him authority to go and ... view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all I want to remind this House that we are not under any obligation at all to approve and pass this Supplementary view
